Vallarta Supermarkets, a grocery chain in Southern California, has partnerd with the ecommerce grocery solutions company Stor.ai. Vallarta will use the tech company’s ecommerce and picking platform to support its stores in deploying online shopping, delivery, and fulfillment capabilities.
“We have been searching extensively for an ecommerce provider capable of meeting customer expectations without eroding the profitability of our picking, fulfillment, and delivery operations,” said Steve Netherton, CIO of Vallarta Supermarkets, in a statement. “By partnering with Stor.ai we hope to raise our ecommerce performance to the next level while ensuring that customers enjoy a true Vallarta experience, whether they shop online or in-store.”
Store.ai aims to ensure that Vallarta can provide the online services that the grocer’s customers want while mitigating the risks of relying solely on third-party ecommerce providers, according to a statement by the tech company. It will carry out this goal by combining customer engagement across many areas into one platform; rather than keep online grocery shopping separate from the in-store experience, the company will help Vallarta grow both facets together.
